Aqueous Reference Electrodes
Common reference electrodes and potential with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode:
- Standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) (E=0.000 V) activity of H+=1
- Normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) (E ≈ 0.000 V)concentration H+=1
- Reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) (E=0.000 V - 0.0591*pH)
- Saturated calomel electrode (SCE) (E=+0.244 V saturated)
- Copper-copper(II) sulfate electrode(CSE) (E=+0.314 V)
- Silver chloride electrode (E=+0.197 V saturated)
- pH-electrode (in case of pH buffered solutions, see buffer solution)
- Palladium-hydrogen electrode
- Dynamic hydrogen electrode (DHE)

Famous quotes containing the word reference:
“A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
